"Can you lend me a set of your clothes?" Qu Xin winked playfully.

Not long after, the "waiter" appeared at the stairs again. He lowered his head and walked into the kitchen, picked up the dishes and walked towards the table where Qu Shang was.

Although the wound on her arm made her movements tremble a little, in order not to arouse suspicion, Qu Xin endured the pain and tried her best to act naturally.

"Sir, here are your dishes." While arranging the dishes, she quietly looked for traces of the elixir.

Suddenly, a golden pill appeared in front of him, along with Qu Shang's outstretched hand. Qu Xin was shocked and tried to take the pill back, but his wrist was firmly grasped.

"Ah!" Qu Shang's strength was so great that it pressed just right on her injured spot, causing Qu Xin to break out in cold sweats from the pain.

"You are injured? How pitiful." Qu Shang looked at the blood under her sleeve, sneered, and tightened his fingers even more.

"Nephew, long time no see. Why don't you chat with uncle about your recent situation?" His eyes were as sharp as a poisonous snake, as if they could devour people.

"Let her go!"

A sharp sword energy shot out from the door, and Qu Shang leaned back to avoid the attack. Qu Xin seized the opportunity, kicked Qu Shang, and successfully snatched back the pill, breaking free from his control.

"Taoist Priest!"

She shouted with joy and ran quickly to Xuan He.

"Are you hurt?"

Xuan He noticed the blood on her arm and became furious.

He waved his hand, and the flying sword flew out of the air, instantly smashing the tables and chairs. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guests around fled the scene, leaving space for him.

The shopkeeper was already accustomed to this scene and just silently calculated the losses.

"Four mahogany tables, sixteen benches, and damaged floors..."

Which of these people in the martial arts world doesn't have special skills? This is not the first time that a fight has happened in the inn. In the past, the innkeeper would be angry about the destruction, but now he has become accustomed to it. In the end, someone will compensate anyway.

"Master Xuanhe, please think twice. Grand Master Dingtu should have told you the importance of the Red Moon Sect." Under Li Yi's protection, Qu Shang was safe and sound in the face of Xuanhe's sword energy.

He walked out from behind Li Yi, checked the wound on his chest, and threw a bottle of medicine to Li Yi: "Take it, and then use your internal energy to heal the wound."

He couldn't let Li Yi die at this time because he still needed him to deal with Xiao Yunjian.

"Do you know each other?" Qu Xin frowned and looked at the two of them.

"It's more than just an acquaintance. Taoist Xuanhe has helped me a lot during this period."

In fact, Xuan He was working for Ding Tu on the orders of his master, and he didn't know that Qu Shang was the mastermind behind the scenes.

"If I had known that those plans came from you, I would not have agreed even if Master ordered me to do so!"

After accidentally hearing the conversation between Ding Tu and Qu Shang yesterday, Xuan He realized that all this was Qu Shang's conspiracy! As the chief steward of the imperial palace, Ding Tu was actually involved with the Red Moon Sect and even deceived his master!

"Why do you have to be so decisive? What has happened has already happened and cannot be changed. We are all in the same boat now and no one can look down on anyone else."

Qu Shang sneered, disgusted by the righteous posture that the so-called famous and upright sects put in front of him, especially the high and mighty sects like the Qingxu Sect. He wished he could pull them off the altar and trample them mercilessly.

"What did you ask him to do?" Qu Xin heard the hidden meaning in Qu Shang's words and felt uneasy.

"Master Nephew, you might as well ask him this question directly."

Seeing Xuan He's concern for Qu Xin, Qu Shang had different thoughts in his mind.

Obviously, Xuan He didn't know Qu Xin's true identity, which was very interesting. He wanted to see how Xuan He would react when he learned the truth.

"Master's nephew?"

Xuan He frowned and looked at Qu Xin with cold eyes.

"Are you also from the Red Moon Cult?"

There was a subtle urgency in his voice. At this moment, he felt a tightness in his chest, even more uncomfortable than when he saw her being controlled by Qu Shang just now, and his breathing became rapid.

"I have nothing to do with the Red Moon Cult."

Qu Xin responded coldly, but she felt bitter in her heart. She risked her life to go down the cliff to collect herbs for him, and spent a lot of effort to refine the golden elixir, but now, just because of Qu Shang's words, he doubted her so much. It was really chilling!

"You saw it clearly. Qu Shang just looked like he wanted to eat someone. If I were from the Red Moon Sect, would he treat me like this? Taoist priest, we have known each other for a short time, but have I done anything to harm others in these days?"

Of course, those hooligans who tried to do something bad to her didn't count, because they were asking for it, after all.

Xuan He was speechless for a moment. Looking back, although Qu Xin was naughty, he had never done anything bad.

"I'm sorry, Miss Qu, I misunderstood."

The coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by deep apology. Xuan He apologized sincerely, feeling full of guilt.

This person is just too trusting. Seeing that he truly repented, Qu Xin's anger subsided a lot.

"You can't be blamed entirely. Qu Shang is best at playing with people's hearts. It's understandable that you are led by him." Although his anger had mostly subsided, he still couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

Xuan He was not angry. Instead, he was grateful that she forgave him so quickly.

"It's great that Miss Qu can forgive me."

"How boring! I thought I would see a good show of lovers turning against each other." Seeing that the plan to sow discord had failed, a trace of gloom flashed across Qu Shang's face.

However, when he noticed that Xuanhe's forehead was slightly dark, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Xuan He has been using his internal energy to resist the poison spreading in his body, which makes the poison spread faster.

In another quarter of an hour, the poison will invade the eight extraordinary meridians. By then, even the gods will not be able to save him! By then, it will be easy to take away the little girl Qu Xin.

Anyway, the elixir was in his hands, so even if she wanted to save him, it was too late.

Qu Shang made up his mind and decided to delay time and let everything happen naturally.

He looked down at his palm and was shocked to find that there was nothing in it.

"How is this possible?" Qu Shang widened his eyes. He clearly remembered that he was holding something just now.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, raised his head abruptly, and shot his angry eyes directly at Qu Xin - that naughty nephew!

"Master, please take this." Qu Xin ignored Qu Shang's almost murderous look and handed the pill in his hand to Xuan He's mouth.

"What is this?" Xuan He was puzzled by the golden pill. He was always cautious, especially about what he took into his stomach.

"You have been poisoned. If you don't get rid of it quickly, the poison will take effect in a quarter of an hour and your life will be in danger."

Seeing Xuan He hesitating, Qu Xin simply stood on tiptoe and force-fed him the pill while he was distracted.

She knew that Xuan He's martial arts was far superior to Qu Shang's. With him by his side, Qu Shang wouldn't dare to act rashly, and she didn't want anything to happen to this fool.

Xuan He believed Qu Xin's words without hesitation. Soon after swallowing the pill, he spat out a mouthful of black blood and brought out a dead little poisonous insect.
